Possible Role of Extracellular Nucleotides in Ectopic Ossification of Human Spinal Ligaments

Possible Role of Extracellular Nucleotides in Ectopic Ossification of Human Spinal Ligaments

To reveal the involvement of extracellular nucleotides in the ossification process in ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine (OPLL), the mRNA expression profiles of P2 purinoceptors, mechanical stress-induced ATP release, and ATP-stimulated expression of osteogenic genes we...
